Gemma Sadly passed away suddenly on the morning of Sunday the 11th of May. Gemma was a beautiful soul who would light up a room. Any one who ever had the privilege of meeting Gemma would agree that she was the nicest most genuine person you could ever meet. The saddest part of her passing is the fact that she has left behind the two most amazing little boys who at the age of 4 and 7 should never have to deal with the heartache of losing their mum. Gemma worked endlessly to make sure her two boys never went without and the fact that she did this single handedly just shows what an amazing person she really was. My sister Jeanette and I had the great privilege of growing up with Gemma and as teenagers we were blessed with 3 more siblings Aidan, Ellie and Alfie which Together we have memories we can cherish forever. As you can probably imagine at the young age of only 39 Gemma didn’t have any savings in place for a funeral. This is such a sad time for the whole family and we all want to give Gemma the send off she deserves. We as a family have had a lot of kind messages asking about how people can help and although a go fund me was the furthest thing from my mind, having financial help for funeral costs etc would be something that would help massively at such a sad time. We are only asking for you to give what you can as we all know every little helps. And if we do somehow manage to raise more than is needed for the funeral then you have my word that the remaining money would go straight to my nephews (her beautiful boys) I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and even if you cannot donate I would appreciate it if you could share this post and keep her boys in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you x Lucy x
